Users can also indicate whether they want to receive a specific quantity of the traded asset or whether they want to deliver a specific quantity of the traded asset by choosing the 'Receive Quantity' or 'Deliver Quantity' option (e.g. You can purchase X bitcoin with $25,000 USD OR you can purchase 1 bitcoin with X USD).

The UsernameRef input field is programmed to be used as a free-form memo field to help you tag your trades.
